Fremantle and Carnivalesque Films have announced their partnership on ‘Kim’s Video,’ a new feature documentary unearthing the story of the NYC video rental store Kim’s Video Collection, which will world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival
andfrom Fremantle’s production company Wildside, which will bow in the Spotlight section. Redmon and Sabin produced for Carnivalesque Films, with Mandy Chang and Bernie Kay exec producing for Fremantle Global Documentaries, along with Angela Neillis for Fremantle International.
“When we saw this quirky feature documentary pitched by David and Ashley at the DIG Festival in Modena, we fell in love with the idea of it,” said Fremantle’s Head of Global Documentaries, Mandy Chang. “Mr. Kim’s Video Store, which originally opened in 1984 inside a dry cleaning business on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, was a magnet for filmmakers and film lovers. Big name directors, like Scorsese, Tarantino and the Coen Brothers, were members of this iconic institution.
“When the video rental era ended and films found their way online, Mr. Kim’s store closed, and the main collection ended up in the town of Salemi in Southern Italy,” continued the film’s EP. “David’s obsession to discover the fate of those videos intrigued us, as did the enigmatic Mr. Kim, and we jumped on board, keen to go on the journey and motivated, like David by our own passion for cinema.
